69 charger c6d oem blue carpet color

[Chargern69]

Hi!

I'm looking to order a new carpet from ACC (RockAuto) for my 69 Charger as the current one is quite worn and miscolored. I am a bit confused, however, when it comes to which color blue is correct for my car. I unfortunately dont have a build sheet, but my fender tag says C6D which is simply "blue". Looking at ACC, however, gives me multiple options for blue:
* Aqua (seems too green)
* Bright Blue
* Medium Blue

I have gotten some samples for the original charger colors and some other blues, but the current carpet is darker than all three original options above, even under the door sill plates and almost seem to be closer to the "Shade 13 Blue" color that ACC provides.

Another issue is that I do not know if the current carpet is original to the car, or if it was changed when it was restored in the 90's. It may very well be incorrect. Therefore, I wanted to check if anyone else has a C6D Blue 69 Charger interior who could provide some pictures of how their carpets look.

In the attached images you can see the Shade 13 blue (the darker one) and the Bright blue, which was the closedt of the original (according to ACC) colors. I think the Shade 13 looks closer to what I currently have, but I find it strange that none of the original are close. Could it be that my current carpet is not original

I believe the carpet color was based on the upper door frame color but don't quote me.

Well that last pictures sure seems to match the hidden carpet section.

Definitely agree that Shade 13 looks to be the closest, so I might get that one. It would be great, however, if I got a hold of someone who could share a photo of another C6D interior 69 charger, as I dont even know if the current carpet is an original color.

Thanks also for sharing the hamtramck interior book. Ive seen it before, and it makes me a bit confused, since ACC has multiple blue colors available for the 69 charger as "blue" carpet. I wonder if its correct that there were variations, or if they've taken various blue colors from different model and year mopars and just have them as the choice for all mopars. Not sure.

Give ACC a call and explain your situation, they may be able to answer your questions.

If you're pulling up the carpet there should be a carpet tag underneath.

Oh thank you for the tip! Do you have any resource for decoding the tags? I saw you mentioned some book which may contain the answers

Which book was that, the general field guide?

What codes do you need help with?

Sorry for the confusion, I was referring to your message in the thread you linked, in case I were to find a tag on the bottom of the carpet (haven't been able to look yet):

"
Thanks. MMC Detroit got back to me on the paper tag and said the same as you.

They say it's in their large reference manual but l don't have that one. If anyone has that manual can you send me pics from that manual.

I've got their manuals and will look into it later today or tomorrow.
